#Portmouth at night is quite alright at the moment.
Our 2020 sea legs are itching though as we continue our preparations to sail in order to conduct #UKF35 flying in UK waters for the first time.

Our first 'no-fly' day; a chance to give our aircraft some deep maintenance, and also give our personnel 'a chance' at some vitamin D ☀️ (more like 🌧).
After relentless flying it is well deserved before we take them into the #JW202 battlesphere next week.

Good Morning 👋
Some nice views outside Flying Control to start your #SundayMorning.
We are giving 'the enemy' a rest today during #JW202 as we conduct a no-fly day to give the upper deck and the largest deployed #5thGen Air Group some maintenance.

67 years ago our Lady Sponsor, Her Majesty The Queen, assended the throne.
Normally we would 'Dress Ship' to mark the occasion.
Today, as we are at Sea, and conducting Gunnery, we give an alternative Gun Salute in lieu.

🦾 The return of Hellfire 🦾
To stay capable of re-rolling to any seaborne mission we have to remain current with all 🇬🇧 carrier capable aircraft.
This time, the return of my favourite, the @BritishArmy AH-64 Apache 🟩
Capable and and very intimidating💥
